I would say shift between 7000 and 8000 RPM if max power is what you are after.
Be sure to check your oil before every ride as these gen 1 motors use a ton of it. The biggest source of engine failure on these motors I believe is running out of oil.
On my 97 I top it off with oil until it won't take any more before every ride. Sometimes I lean it to the right a bit just to get a little more oil into the motor. Someone may disagree with doing this but so far I have not had any problems when overfilling the crankcase with oil. I have done a breather mod so that the excess oil does not blow into the carb.
